Now you get it. Thanks.If Bitcoin fails than we will likely see Litecoin, BCH and/or DASH as the next best for cashing used main coins or a total collaps of the cryptomarket. At least those coins have a good way grown up community and so a "fight" won't end up in "my coin is better than your coin" spam in the other coins thread ... at least I hope that. We will see.

There are also other promising projects out now which could flip everything on the head.. who knows what is comming this year.2017 was already a crazy year. Cripled Bitcoin rose to 20000 dollar. That's absolutly brain dead crazy if you think about that.

So... I can not see how Litecoin is any better than the "crippled" bitcoin. They both have implemented segwit so if you shittalk one, you should do the same with the other

Very true. It is not better than Bitcoin. However if bitcoin is stuck people likely will jump to the next best known long existing or established coin that is not stuck at that time and that's litecoin. Whenever Bitcoin was slightly diving the last weeks I saw Litecoin, BCH and Dash rising at the same time. So it is a market conclusion out of my observation not a technical one. I personel don't have any litecoins.

Rockshield Capital indicated it had invested in several blockchain companies, including one holding Dash masternodes.

In a recent press release, the Vancouver-based venture capital fund outlined a few of the blockchain-based startups and funds in which it was invested. First on the list was Neptune Dash, an investment company centered around building and operating Dash masternodes. According to the release, the company leverages a dual appreciation model through both the increasing valuation of Dash and masternode rewards:

Rockshield Capital's participation does not seem to have caused the price rise, I wonder if this investment company is influential, of course, I am happy to see the various companies active in blockchain areas

Video repost of episode 34 of the three amigos podcast. This week we had Dash Core member Joshua Seigler (Evolution Frontend Developer) as a guest on the podcast. Joshua broke the news and gave some details about a new Dash Core hire for the Evolution team as well as providing some insight in to how sending payments will work and look on both the front end and backend of Dash Evolution.

Other topics discussed on this weeks podcast was coins forking or copying Dash specification and innovation. As well as talking about the recent news of Venture Capital Fund Neptune Dash investing in Dash masternodes.

Everyone has a favorite coin, that one project that really captured their interest and imagination. Crypto fandom certainly reaches truly high levels of exuberance, with legions loudly insisting that their pet project is the one for the ages. How right are they, though? How much of it is just hot air? What are the real prospects of your favorite coin ever getting anywhere? Let’s take a look.

Does it have a unique value proposition?

First up, stop to think what makes this project special. What does it really do that nothing else does quite the same? Is it yet another simple payment coin with nothing important to distinguish itself from the competitors? Is it a basic smart contract platform like many in its field? Another banking-geared ledger or privacy coin? What makes this one different, special, or otherwise worthy of rising above the rest?

Koinbi welcomes Dash to its family of crypto currencies and has opened the order books for Dash to be traded!Our mission at Koinbi is to provide you, the user and trader with a clean, fast and secure platform to trade your crypto currencies.

I did my research about Dash and took notes in the way. Based on my notes, I wrote a short (2-3 min) review. Might be helpful for newcomers who want to understand the Dash a bit more.https://longcaller.com/coin/dash.html

I was looking at the charts in try to understand the next wave of increase when can appear based on my guess. First thing which impressed me is current price of Dash by itself to be positive for an easy increase of 50% from here in short term. Dash should be back at 0.10 BTC in no time.

Not something else. Dash wants to be a digital currency. A cash system. Monero wants to be a privacy coin. That's a big difference. Dash is not aiming to be a privacy coin. It just offers such a feature as an additon that you can use or not.There is no monero dash fight. That impression comes from the number of people comparing the privacy aspect of both coins creating wrong impression that the two coins play on a same level somehow which they do not. And there are the constant monero trolls resitant we have which like to post monero in dash for eighter their personal relief or for monero advertising. Dash do not care a bit about monero. It is one sided. You should be clear about what you invest in.

Yes I am aware of that, but I am also aware that Dash has effectively a faulty privacy system, yet it's been promoted, at least in the past as a privacy coin. Literally it was named dark-coin in the past.

I was pointing out that that is a little bit dishonest, Dash has very weak privacy, and promoting it as a privacy coin is dishonest and misleading potential privacy demanding users.

Monero has a central point of failure, which is it's encryption scheme, which might turn out one day to be weak, being deanonymized by QC or a crypto bug.

Still, despite that, Monero still has a better privacy, and a lower risk probability. So if you want privacy go to Monero.

I just want to make money at this point so I bought both. I think Dash has a great potential to get into the top 5.

It will probably be a fight between BCH and DASH.

Dash privacy on itself is not weak, nor does it have a faulty system. It does have a somewhat time-consuming process, because it depends on finding people to mix their input amounts with but that does not mean its privacy tech is weak or faulty.This means that Dash had every right to promote itself as a privacy coin in the past and nowadays can promote itself as a platform on which to run several services (including but not limited to : privacy).

I suspect your beliefs and your information about Dash privacy tech and how it functions exactly, are somewhat influenced by your Monero invested background. Hell, Monero did not even have a solid and safe privacy tech, untill after their large update somewhere early last year. If any coin should not have been promoting themself as safe and strong privacy coin, its Monero during the first two years.

Cryptotechnical you can say it is a rather cheap done solution and this I agree in and you have to know what you do it is not quite easy to handle correctly. But faulty it is not. It works. You can not deanonymize the mixed coins ever when done correctly. (Contrary to when it's "just" encrypted in the blockchain)

Whenever I show someone Dash I explain him or her the normal use case because for 99% this is enough. It is "lightening" fast and cheap as it should be and has to be for a cash coin contrary to what bitcoin has become now thanks to that so "clever" core devs.

And I explain the InstantSend feature because that is just a simple click on the checkbox. About private send I only say don't use it except you really need the feature because it will make things a lot more complicate for you.

I don't have time to argue now, to put it simply.

Dash leaks metadata, Monero doesn't, that is the core difference.

Dash relies on the assumption that Nodes are trustworthy, Monero doesn't, monero places all the trust in the encryption, which by any risk standard has a lower probability of failure than the nodes.

Nodes could be hijacked, hacked, coerced, monitored, etc... By this metric, Dash is inferior to Monero in terms of privacy.

Now this vulnerability I criticize, however I like other aspects of Dash, and hold some Dash as well, so I am not a hater.

Now you get it. Thanks.If Bitcoin fails than we will likely see Litecoin, BCH and/or DASH as the next best for cashing used main coins or a total collaps of the cryptomarket. At least those coins have a good way grown up community and so a "fight" won't end up in "my coin is better than your coin" spam in the other coins thread ... at least I hope that. We will see.

No, in my opinion this is what will happen:

LTC is bullshit, never went anywhere, no reason for it to go up now when there are so many BTC clones out there, I think even the developer left, it's a joke.

BTC has strangled itself with the 1 mb block, it's dead.

Monero is a newcomer, but it still has a small userbase and low economic activity behind it.

So the only 2 probable coins for now are Dash and BCH, which one will win? I don't know, I bought both.
